What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tax Accounting Manager position at Distinct | North America?
Tax & Accounting Manager
New Milford, CT
You’re used to working busy season hours. You may not like it but that’s the just the nature of working in public accounting.
What’s worse than working busy season hours?
Working overtime hours all year round. I’ve heard the nightmare stories of candidates saying a 55-65 hour week is normal for them outside of busy season never mind during the deadlines.
But it doesn’t have to be like that. This small yet growing CPA firm was birthed from two partners who used to work in the big firms and those crazy hours. They decided they’d had enough and built their own firm where your whole life isn’t spent doing over time. From May to December you’ll be working 4 days a week, to give you time back from tax seasons.
They mainly do accounting work for businesses with bookkeepers and tax work, they’re able to offer proactive tax and strategic planning to their diverse client base from hedge funds to small businesses.
We’re helping them find a tax & accounting supervisor who can understand balance sheets, income statement accounts and general ledger activity as well as quickbooks and tax preparation.
This is an in office position in New Milford CT. Experience in a public accounting firm is essential.
Here’s the thing about job applications – this is where most people trip up. They treat them like some sacred checklist where missing one box means instant rejection from the HR gods.
Truth is, if this role sparks your interest, just hit apply. The button isn’t a lifelong commitment – it’s the start of a conversation.
Prefer the old-fashioned human touch? Great. Give me a call at 646-540-9666. Sometimes Indeed plays hide-and-seek with my number, but you can always track me down on LinkedIn – I’m Georgina Ross at Distinct North America. I’m usually at my desk from 6am EST, so I’m easy to catch before your day kicks off. After 5pm works too, though I might be running on caffeine fumes by then.
Worried you’re only 87% qualified? Even better. The CPA firms we work with aren’t hunting for cookie-cutter clones – they want real, interesting people who bring something different to the table.
Don’t overthink it. Worst case? You’ll have a good chat about your career. Best case? Things could get very exciting.
